I suggest an Empathy Forum

[catcher2000]

An empathy forum to let others share without giving advice (unless they ask for it). It is a way for people to share what is on their heart and have their words reflected back for validation.

So a blog?

So a blog?

I wasn't thinking a blog. A place here in CF were anybody could share their struggles or day. And others would share empathy. For instance, someone might say, "I am having a hard time with my relationship. I am so worn out and feel like someone is taking advantage of me."
Response might be, "That's tough."
Another response might be, "I imagine you are feeling sad and confused as to what to do?"
Another response might be, "Are you feeling worried and concerned about how to move forward and needing hope and wisdom?"
Ofcourse, solutions and advice could be given but only with permission of person. We are so quick to not listen and just offer a solution or our experience (making it about ourselves). The goal is to really be there for others.
